Thiazole and thiazolidinone recur in a wide range of biologically active compounds that reach different targets within the context of tumors and represent a promising starting point to access potential candidates for treating metastatic cancer. Therefore, searching for new lead compounds that show the highest anticancer potency with the fewest adverse effects is a major drug-discovery challenge. Because the thiazole ring is present in dasatinib, which is currently used in anticancer therapy, it is important to highlight the ring. In this study, cycloalkylidenehydrazinecarbothioamides (cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cyclooctyl, dihydronapthalenylidene, flurine-9-ylidene, and indolinonyl) reacted with 2-bromoacetophenone and diethylacetylenedicarboxylate to yield thiazole and 4-thiazolidinone derivatives. The structure of the products was confirmed by using infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray analyses. The antiproliferative activity of the newly synthesized compounds was evaluated. The most effective inhibitory compounds were further tested in vitro against both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAFV600E) targets. Additionally, molecular docking analysis examined how these molecules bind to the active sites of EGFR and BRAFV600E. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An efficient route for the synthesis of (E)-2-(2-(2-nitrobenzylidene)-hydrazinyl)-4-phenylthiazol-3-ium bromide, (E)-2-(2(substituted benzylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-phenylthiazoles and (E)-4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(cycloalkylidenehydrazono)-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydrothiazoles by reaction of 1-aryl-2-bromoethanones with 2-(1-substituted methylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamides and cycloalkylidene-N-phenyl-hydrazinecarbothioamides. The structure of the products has been confirmed by using IR, NMR, mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray analyses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A series of substituted ethylidenehydrazinylidene-1,3-thiazol-4-ones and dimethyl 2-{[4-1(-[5-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethylidene)- 4-oxo-3-phenyl-1,3-(thiazolidin-2-ylidene]hydrazonylidene}ethyl)phenyl]aminofumarate were synthesised by condensation of substituted ethylidene-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamides with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. The synthesised compounds were characterised by spectroscopic methods and confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Some of the prepared compounds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity against different strains of microorganisms, compound 3b exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared to ciprofloxacin with MIC value of 1.12 μg mL-1.
